Find a drake in the area, engage it, and stand in the lightning on the ground it throws at you until the bar's full.

Comment by Nemesisra

Head into Stormscale cavern (30, 55) to find the drakes, you can also stand in the spots on the ground where you see the lightning.

Comment by Neverknow

You can find one of the drakes on a cliff near the top cave - it'll never fly down, just keeps dropping Ball Lightning. Makes this quest a breeze. Just stand in his lightning AoE and you're done in a minute.

To find the cave, look for the crashed Alliance airship. The top portion acts as a bridge to the cave entrance.

If you're like me and forgot where the cave is, go past all of the parts of the gunship, using the road on the east side of the road network that encircles the world quest icon. Starting at 38,48 (first road east of the Skyfire Triage Camp flight point), head southwest through the big boat pieces (you can see them on your world map) at 35,54 and 31,55. Go through the latter and up the debris through two big cannon turrets. The cave is just behind those turrets.

Edit: Actually there is a 2nd entrance which is easier to find, due northeast from the Skyfire Triage Camp flight point. There's a light post on your left as you head down the hill. Look off to the right, and there's a ramp up to the other cave entrance. You can start the quest in the ponds on the way to the first cave.

Just stand at 29.3, 53.4, and stand on top of the skull, then attack the Adolescent Storm Drake sitting above you on the cliff. (ranged) It'll just stay up there shocking you as you fully charge.

The number of r*tards killing drakes during this quest is beyond belief. You tap it, you wait until it's out of mana standing in the pools it spits, only after that you kill it. And yes, for once evading NPCs are a blessing since the mana bar constantly resets, leading to an endless supply of pools.Oh yes, be careful you don't have a combat ally killing the drakes for you before they run out of mana.

FYI: You do not have to attack anything to get the dragons to charge the transponder. In fact, I recommend if you do the quest with a bodyguard, that you don't attack so your bodyguard stays passive too; not even an auto attack or taunt. Just stand there and let them hit you and heal when needed.

When you enter the cave, keep running until you see a pack of 3 whelps + 1 big drake. Takes like 30sec to soak their attacks to get 100% on the bar

Comment by LiriellGarrosh

It seems that the hardest part of this World Quest is getting people to stop "helping" by killing the mobs you've gathered to charge the lightning thing.

Comment by The8th

Kind of a cheat but If you are rangedGoto 29:53 There's a drake sitting on an overhanging rock which will evade your damageHe spams electic down at you, fills up your bar in 30 secs

Comment by WDStudios

Between the insane difficulty of figuring out where you're supposed to go, and getting there, and the extreme non-obviousness of what you're supposed to do when you get there, this is one of the worst quests in the game

And not a single comment on what flight path to take or how to get to the quest locat1on. Thanks.

Flying can't come soon enough.

Comment by Aisenfaire

Fly to Stonehoof Watch in Highmountain.

Ride down the road into Stormheim.

Turn right at /way 33.6, 32.3 (or after the 3rd road lamp post, or after "Stony Highlands" appears on your screen).

Go across the misty pool and you'll see the transponder and the caves and drakes around it.

Aggro a drake on a high rock (ex. /way 29, 53) and stand in its Ball Lightning until your bar is full. (Any drake will do, really, but the ones on the rocks won't waste time with melee attacks and will just use Ball Lightning full time so they'll charge you much faster. Watch drake's mana bar. Empty mana = run away and reaggro, because no mana means no lightning.)

Comment by geekygirlish

Wow - had to come here to figure out what to do, not the clearest instructions. I don't know what it is like with other classes, but this is hard to do with a bodyguard follower! I was on my druid and the nutcase druid that accompanied me pulled all the aggro ( I am balance) I had to switch to bear and just taunt taunt taunt. Took me ages as someone said you also get those helpful others who come along and kill the dragon too quickly. So if you are heading off to do this, unassign a bodyguard, and I suppose the same is true for minions and pets.

This bloody quest keeps bugging out over and over again. Even after reaching 100% it won't register as finished. I've seen people have this problem since the quest came out and it is STILL not fixed. Incredibly infuriating...
